The Trump administration wants to impose a work requirement on able-bodied adults who receive food stamps and force states to pick up some of the costs as part of a wider plan to slash spending by $3.6 trillion over the next decade.

Budget director Mick Mulvaney said that once states have “a little skin in the game,” they will be more inclined to root out abuses and waste in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The Trump administration will officially unveil its budget request Tuesday. The plan would cut spending by $3.6 trillion, and it projects a balanced budget in 10 years. To get there, the administration is assuming a 3 percent growth rate.

“It is a taxpayer-first budget,” Mulvaney said. “Yes, we are concerned on the impact of government spending on the folks who receive benefits, but we are also concerned [about] the folks who pay the taxes in the first place. We think that balance has been lost.”
